Bless his heart. What a good son. I just bought today Mega quilter from Viking. I don't know much about it but i know three people who had it for years and they love it. It is not long arm but still very strong with no problems at all they told me. It still goes on a big frame (my frame is 120" wide). Also the price is really fair compared to others and this weekend they have the president's sale and I am not sure if this location only, but the dealer gave some people extra 10% senior discount (There was a couple buying one at the time and i was asking the dealer if they can adopt me for 10 min so i can get their discount.....lol).
Hope that helps
